SPAVEN X SANDUNES EVELYN

Swiftly following their absorptive recent offering 'Tree of Life', Bombay-based producer Sandunes and experimental London drummer Spaven, have set free another textural from their eponymous forthcoming EP. Spanning 5 and a half entrancing minutes, 'Evelyn' feels loose and nomadic as Sandunes' watery electronics crash against the sharp rocks of Spaven's dynamic drumming approach. Ebbing and flowing throughout, its easy to get lost in the the pair's explorative collective consciousness. In true Sandunes style, 'Evelyn' arrives alongside an emoji-punctuated Facebook, which gives the instrumental track a personal touch: "This tune gets its name from my previous home - Evelyn 🏡 ...I gave up my apartment at the start of the lockdown and the concept of Home has been super fluid ever since. Been trying to find it in quiet moments, in my body, in writing, in conversations with my closest, and in family..🔵 if it’s not a blue dot on a map, doesn’t mean it can’t still be a feeling 🏡 ..If in these last few months you’ve been displaced, out of space, or just in a new place too - then I hope you’re able to nest , right where you are 🌏🌻" Spaven x Sandunes will arrive on the 11th of September via !K7 Records. -Holly Mullineaux
